The purpose of this group is to discuss books that we find we can't put down after the first reading.  We'll discuss the elements of the story that we most connect with. Drinking warm, soothing tea such as jasmine, oolong, mint, constant comment, green leaves with orange peel, or peppermint will enhance your discussion of what we will read. How comfy is that?  This group will appeal to diverse women in their 40's or 50's who enjoy laughing and crying over a good read. If you feel as if you would …

… Our meetups tend to range across topics, comparing and contrasting to other novels, drawing parallels to science, history, world cultures, politics, religion, or philosophy, and generally tangenting wherever the conversation takes us, often towards unexpected epiphanies (“Carrot Top is the herald of the apocalypse”). If you want a stodgy, pretentious literary critique, this probably isn’t for you. But if you’re looking for a great group of interesting people who share your love of speculative fi …

Are you interested in being a part of a book club? Do you want to discuss books in an adult setting where different opinions are welcomed? This group is for you! We are a co-ed group and we try to read books from several different genres. Our members suggest books which we add to our small book bank.

This is for guys who want to read and talk about mysteries (Sherlock Holmes, Mickey Spillaine, Raymond Chandler, Ed McBain, and more.  Men are busy these days (as are women) but never have the chance to just hang out, talk and "be."  Today men increasingly are networked only by vocation, kids' schools and other gatherings.  This is a chance to not break a sweat, and do much beyond some casual reading and just "be."

This is a graphic novel book club that meets at the Georgetown Neighborhood Library every other Tuesday. All are welcome! We have started reading Neil Gaiman's Sandman series and will be covering a new book every other meeting.

The Graphic Novel Bookgroup is the newest public bookgroup at Politics and Prose. We read, you guessed it, graphic novels! But what is a graphic novel? Isn’t it just a comic book? Cartoons? Superhero in tights and capes? Occasionally, but not always. There are as wide a range of graphic novels as there are literary genres. The one commonality is that they all involve stories told with the aid of pictures - sequential storytelling. Obviously, this definition does not limit the content, and, if y …
